'Fat Alice' rolled a Remington john for his starter washers.



Found a lawnmower website with the Fairbanks Morse friction washers. Ordered forty of 'em. Pass them out like party favors we will.

What part number did you come up with? I have a local dealer that deals Rotary and thought about having them check on these.

Ordered forty from Rotary Corp. US
Fairbanks Morse 10-27-80
Stens 630-012
Sunbelt B1SP70

Watch shipping from the lawnmower sites as some are just a bald face rip off.

I'll have to re-run both the saws to make some times. I'll be interested to see what miller's saw does with a P5 carb too. Also I'll throw a square grind chain in the mix too.

Eassssy... Mark and Ron brought the numbers from the 55 race back to the shop. The wife was helping me clean the shop after the GTG. I don't think either of us knew to look for it when we were burning trash. [emoji53]

That sounds like something I'd do..

Run the 394 some more yesterday. That thing has the power to run the 36in full comp none skip chain. Need to do a little tweaking on the tune yet but it gets with it [emoji7][emoji7]

Hey Nate did you get the carving preped and set in your driveway yet???? Post pics when you do

Who was it that volunteered that they had an air filter cover and air filter for an Olympyk 264F?


I tried one off a 251 but close no cigar.

Try calling Air Cooled Engines in Winterset Iowa. He might have what you need out in his storage building. I think I remember seeing one out there.

Not yet. I have been busy cleaning up and catching up on shop work. I plan to burn and seal it with linseed oil, just need to get some linseed oil first...

For the guys who picked up one of the Oregon chain and bar measuring tools at the GTG, here is the instruction video to get all of the benefits!





And Philbert's 'Cheat Sheet' (attached)!

@Philbert Thanks again for that thing, I got some use out of it this weekend at a friends house. He had a pile of old oregon chains 16"-20" long. Sadly only 5-6 loops might be salvageable.

 

[67L36Driver]

Used mine several times since the GTG.[emoji41]

 

[TALLGUY]

I used mine last night digging for a .063 chain in a pile of .050. Slick tool.

No more masking tape on the Poulan.
